Entertained on the Fourth

Andover residents enjoyed Independence Day in the usual town fashion, with pancakes in the Park and a Horribles Parade down Main Street to start the day.

Fireworks were enjoyed the night before, July 3 at dusk, eliciting "ohs" and "ahhs" from those sitting on the Andover High School grounds, off Shawsheen Road.
